LIGHTS: We have followed her adventures in the silent wasteland in Audio Quest; we've learned things we didn't know about her in "The 5" interview, we've discovered her "Halloween Horrors." And now, now we get to look at her!
This charismatic one-stop-electro-pop-shop posed for MTV photographer Rene Cervantes in these exclusive MTV photos. They're a little but funny/playful, a little bit goth and a little bit other-worldly; a lot like her music.

In this new edition of "The 5," the ubiquitous (at least on these blog shores) LIGHTS tells us a few things we never would've known about her, had she not hipped us to them.
Not only is LIGHTS an accomplished songwriter/singer/producer, she also enjoys taking a blade to undead images (or whatever) while playing the popular World of Warcraft game. When LIGHTS was little a tuberculosis shot gone wrong left her with a nasty scar on her arm. So thank the heavens she got into the fantasy role playing game; it gave her a reason to cover up her tat with a dope knife tattoo.
Otherwise, LIGHTS calls boars the worst "invention" and recalls the time she basically found herself at a boar convention at a zoo. Bummer. She also discusses making pop-up books and how the first song she ever produced sounded like something from the Thumbelina soundtrack.
Learn all you can about LIGHTS below, and be sure to check out her animated comic book adventures in the thrilling Audio Quest series.
It's Issue 4 of Audio Quest, kids. In this animated comic book collaboration between LIGHTS and comic artists Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman, LIGHTS has finally met the HBGIC (Head Bad Guy In Charge), Lotar. Ol' Lotes has LIGHTS trapped in a force field of some sort and it would seem that LIGHTS' quest to restore sound to a muted planet and galaxy is all but done for.
Find out how this conflict resolves itself (we're betting it involves some kicking of butt on the part of LIGHTS) and check out all the other issues of Audio Quest here.
In the last issue of "Audio Quest," Captain LIGHTS," was on a mission to open a can of sonic beatdown on her nemesis, Lotar. Oh, that Lotar. Always stealing sounds from planets and muting the universe!
In this latest issue of the animated comic book collabo between LIGHTS and acclaimed comic artists Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman, our hero is beset by some of Lotar's robot minions as she attempts to confront the universe's biggest bad guy.
When we last left LIGHTS her search for signs of intelligent sound was thrown off course (literally) when she crashed on some barren, non-rocking rock of a planet.
Issue 2 of LIGHTS' exclusive comic/music video series, "Audio Quest" -- a collaboration between the Canadian electro-popper and esteemed comic artists Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman -- LIGHTS encounters some turtle-type aliens who give her the 411 on a bad guy named Lotar, a "fiendish mute-merchant" who's been going around the galaxy turning down the sound wherever he can.
Watch it below, and get caught up with LIGHTS' Audio Quest by watching Issue 1 here.
Canadian electro-popper LIGHTS isn't just satisfied making insanely hummable synth-driven ditties, she's trying to get her sci-fi-Indiana-Jones on, too.
In this new music-video-meets-comic collaboration between LIGHTS and comic book artists Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman -- who've worked on such famed titles as Daredevil and Punisher -- LIGHTS is on a mission to "restore musical hope to the cosmos" by looking for sounds in the nooks and crannies of the galaxy.
As tends to happen with these kinds of missions, there are a few hiccups along the way. In Issue 1, Captain LIGHTS has a mechanical meltdown in a galaxy devoid of jams, forcing her to crash land on bummer of a planet.
Stay tuned for Issue 2 coming soon.
